Thoughts on Sugar so far

At the beginning of Sugar, it seemed a little boring and I wasn't really interested but as we went on it seemed more interesting. In class I think we are almost half way through it. It reminds of Rocky and the American Dream theme. Sugar is from the Dominican Republic and gets invited to a baseball training program in Kansas. His dream is to be on a Major League team. He really tries his best to work hard even though he can't speak that much English. I noticed this issue caused him as few problems such as a fight in the bar. Also when he was in the restaurant he didn't understand what type of eggs were which. However, the waitress was really nice and she showed him the different kinds and gave him them for free. He seems to be having a difficult time in Kansas but I hope by the end he manages well.
